[Geomoose-users] Re: printing in geomoose

The line you are referring to is (around) line 151 in print_util.php:

//LK To allow use of AGG in onscreen and set to GD for print
$url=$url.'&map_IMAGETYPE=print';

I'm not sure I'd call it a bug, but it is an un-documented feature.  It 
expects something like

OUTPUTFORMAT
   NAME  "print"
   DRIVER  GD/GIF
   MIMETYPE  "image/gif"
   IMAGEMODE  PC256
   EXTENSION  "gif"
END

to be in your geomoose_globals.map

Brent Fraser

But now I don't know why is the error occuring, because I haven't changed print_util.php before. And when I tried to comment that line with IMAGETYPE=print in print_util.php it throws exactly same errors as I experience when trying to print layers from geoserver. You can see them here:

As you, probably, remember I had a problem with printing in geomoose using geoserver. It still is there, but now I tried a new approach, I set up mapserver and make it work. It looks like it is okey now.

>>> I have also tried this manual http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/RenderingOsmDataUbuntu. It throws the same errors each time I try to print the layer and the PDF, jpeg and html files are all blank. I can see these layers when I turn them on in geomoose, but when I print them these errors occur.
>>> And I have another (probably) stupid question. When I am using anyone of these two layers and I am moving the view or zoom level, they are acting weird, because when I zoom, usually I can see just a piece of zoomed area, or when I move the map to whichever side it usually return back where it was before moving or move  in the other direction...

I have hardly ever used a map file, so what you are suggesting here (http://www.osgeo.org/pipermail/geomoose-users/2010-July/002435.html) is a little bit problematic for me. I tried to write a map file with layer of openstreetmap tiles. I wanted to use it as a base layer with possibility to print. But i wasn't successful.
